Teardrop Light 28
Teardrop Light 28 : Usage By Country: (4) Europe: (1) United Kingdom: (1. 1) Blue Lights: Usage of emergency vehicle lighting is restricted in the United Kingdom through the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989. It is illegal for any vehicle to show a flashing coloured light (with the exception of the normal direction indicators or a green anti-lock brake warning indicator), unless it is an emergency or other authorised vehicle. However recently pedal cycles can exhibit a flashing rear red lamp. The main colour for emergency service vehicles is overwhelmingly blue, although there is also widespread use of flashing (white) headlights. The legal definition of an emergency vehicle limits the use of both methods to vehicles used for: (a) Fire brigade, ambulance or police purposes (this includes private fire or emergency ambulance services, but not private security); (b) Fire salvage; (c) Forestry Commission or local authority when fighting fires; (d) Ministry of Defence bomb disposal, mountain rescue, nuclear emergency or armament support, or special forces responding to a national securityemergency ; (e) National Blood Service or Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service vehicles; (f) HM Coastguard; (g) British Coal Corporation (now the Coal Authority) for mine rescue; (h) RNLI lifeboat launching vehicles (usually restricted to launching slipway); (i) mountain rescue; (j) carrying human tissue for transplant; (k) HM Revenue and Customs when investigating serious crime. Blue flashing lights must only be lit at the scene of an emergency, or when the driver considers it desirable to indicate that the journey being undertaken is urgent, and (in terms of the law) convey to other drivers that they should take special care
